After we dropped you two at Addison

 

We pulled out the Captain to see what was happnin’ and this is what we found. A bit of bag from Pride! ‘Member the storm? The buttons and pins and rain and that dude passed out, the one who really disturbed you? You know, the one I have a picture of? Anyway, we had too much fun with you. Beware: I’m posting more pictures in the near future!

Love,

Conversation in the car: Friday

Kiley:  What do you want for Mother’s Day?

Me:  I don’t know.  Whatever.  I mean, you don’t have to get me anything.  How about you just be nice to me for an entire day?

Kiley:  Um, ok.  What do you want though?

Me:  I don’t know.

Kiley: Argh.  There isn’t anything you want?  If you could have anything….

Me:  I want a Sonicare toothbrush.  They are like $120.  A little out of any of our price ranges.

Kiley:  A toothbrush, mom???

Me:  They are super cool, and they make this wicked strange sound when you brush.

Kiley:  Omg, mom, it’s a toothbrush.  You brush your teeth less than 5 minutes a day, and you WANT a toothbrush.  You need to get a life.  That’s what I’m buying you for Mother’s Day, a life. 

Me:  BWAHAHAHAHA!

Sailor’s Lip can go to hell

Dear Soon-to-be-Wearing-Eco-Lips-Organic-Lip-Balm-with-SPF Jessifer,

I KNEW that weird pissed off white patch on my bottom lip was something! OMG, I’ve been wearing the same magnifying glass on my lips–my poor, thin-skinned, sun-absorbing lips–since I was, what, fourteen? Yeah, have you read this? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24190829/ Take my Sally Hansen, my Body Shop, my C.O. Bigelow!

How will I ever part ways with my little blue jar? Do you KNOW that two years ago I went as far as to write Blistex to ask if they would whip up a batch of Lip Medex with SPF, just for me? I can’t part with it, I can’t, and not for trying. I’ve got tubes and canisters occupying their own freakin’ Caboodle; past attempts and failures at trying to move on. Lip Medex has been my dream lip product (remember when we moved from Chamberlain and I cleaned under the bathroom sink and found fourteen empty blue containers of it? Oh, I never mentioned that? I was too busy packing and repacking. Last of the OCD days…), the only caveat being that it lacked sun block. Everything I’ve tried since then has produced scales, or doesn’t last long enough, or is gunky and stupid. The nice folks at Blistex informed me that no, there would be no SPF in Lip Medex anytime soon, despite the fact that I’m part owner by now, but would I try this new product and find it to my liking? No. Nooooooo. It had coverage, but like all the others, got tossed into the purple plastic.

My point, besides being an alarmist and adding another worry to your plate? I am sending off for Eco Lips! And you’re getting one. Chiggity check the website (http://www.ecolips.com/) and I think you’ll find that I’ve done well in trying to keep our lips supple and squamous free. After scouring the site, I scored us a FREE tube of organic lip balm…SPF 30!!!!! So no, my sister, you won’t suffer my fate, this wavy, white, irritated blob on your sweet little lips.

What’ll it be…mint, berry or sport? I will save your life. Because I love you like that.

For you, my dear

A sweet day, that’s what I wish for you, sugar.

Did you know Jolly Ranchers makes a new candy that is a lot like Zotz?!?!?  Um, you’d best be headin’ to Walgreens like right now to get some.  The Cherorange flavor is my fave.  They’re called Jolly Ranchers Blasts.

While we are on the topic of must haves from Walgreen’s, I purchased the Drew Barrymore Covergirl mascara on Saturday.  Totally worth the $10.

Ugh, It’s Monday afternoon and I would cut a bitch for a glass of wine.  After work I have to run to the nursing home and drop off laundry, take Ki to Sprint, and then go to Kiley’s band concert.  Hopefully, it’s a short concert.  Why, why do they schedule this stuff on a Monday….the longest, suckiest day of the week?  As if parenting isn’t hard enough. 

I will, will, will get some more photos scanned this week.  Probably not tonight, but maybe tomorrow?  or Wednesday? 

Curious….about Ali.  It’s sounds like Steph had a great time.  Has she lightened up on the homo=hell thing? 

Keep me updated on Steph’s appointments.  I hope it’s all just hyper-awareness of symptoms and not anything more.  Man, you guys really don’t need another round of crap when the this round hasn’t even ended yet.

Hugs and kisses, fer
